At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a
defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in
mindfulness in business, health care, and education. The book
argues that the benefits and insights mindfulness provides are also
cultivated by the study of poetry. These benefits include a focus
on the present, the ability to see through scripts and habits, a
rethinking of subjectivity, and the development of ecological or
systems thinking. Bryan Walpert employs close readings of
traditional and experimental poetry and draws on scientific studies
of the effects of mindfulness or reading literature on the brain.
It argues the skills that poetry, like mindfulness, cultivates are
useful beyond the page or classroom and ultimately are necessary to
engage with such global issues as the environmental crisis.
